Which cam?

I am trying to find out as much as I can before I start in my spare a6 rebuild. I am considering getting an exospeed cam or a webcam cam. Which would anyone pick and why? I am leaning for the exospeed one becasue I have heard a lot of good things about them. I am going to put in zc pistons and get the head ported and polished if this helps anyone. Thanx for the insight, I just want to know as much as I can before I start the builup.

i got one for you...delta cams regrinds....total money spent....$100 but they do need you core....the 272 regrind is a very good n/a cam....its got a lopey idle how ever....it is a fairly large cam....id go with that considering the price...also there regrinds dont wear out like others....47k miles and still looks like brand new on my girls car.

dirty91crx thanx for the info. WHere can I find out more about delta cams? Also the core isn't a problem because I have a complete d16 with tranny waiting to be rebuilt and I also have a spare d16 with a crack in the block but the head is good.

yeah I went there, but they don't have much information such as what cams they have and the prices also what h.p. increase you can expect. I guess I will just have to call them. Thanx for the help. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

yeah you have to call them or email them to see specs...i personaly dont know them off hand...but i will vouch for them....lemme see my girls 89 dx dynoed at 77whp and with the cam 90whp on a completly stock engine...now just add the bolt ons and wham....a cam does nice!

CRxtc thanx for the link. Also if I do build up my engine with a new cam, zc pistons, p&p head, will I even be able to pass emissions? I don't knwo the laws so if i can't even use the motor after I build it thent here is no reason to even do all this research.

you can still pass emissions if your tuned right....most times with a cam you either run too lean or a lil rich....kinda like my turbo...lol IMO i say go turbo...we installed a home made turbo on a 89 crx si...it turned a 13.9 in stock trim with drag radials...and still very drivable....heh ever had traction problems? comes with turbos!

traction problems come with power.....ever had your car break loose when shifting into 3rd?

yeah...on my new build i can be in 3rd...hell even 4th at about 40mph....mash the gas and as soon as she hits full boost wham no traction....i love it! i just need better tires :eek7:

i am not talking about breaking loose like that i am talking about you are full throttle in second and you shift into third and break lose.....thats a crazy feeling

yeah but thats almost expected when shifting....im talkin while just rolling and decide to floor it....all of a sudden you spool up and break loose. BTW gotta love spinnin wheels through shifts :icon16:

If I go home made turbo then I will still have to build up my motor wont I? Also roughly how much would a home made turbo set up run me? I am starting to think maybe turbo is the way to go...let me know a rough estimate because building up my a6 n/a wont be cheap either...Thanx for the insight.

that happens all the time to me......when i step on it the tires spin....

cant tell you

cant tell you
fair enough

cant tell you
then braggin doesn't do shit for you or anyone else...


btw, going with a cam upgrade, are you still cool going turbo or blown? what about nitrous

i'll tell you later (when i get home)

n/a i dont break loose that much.....195/60/14.....shill spin 2nd and chirp 3rd.....but damn once i got the turbo on....whoo eeeee lol....anyways my set up ran me roughly $350 total....thats everything. but then again i bought my cx mani already with the turbo and flange on it....it should run you no more than $500...

dirty91crx can you make me a parts list of what I will need. Also what should I do to my engine to accound for the turbo? I want to take it apart and clean it and at least put on all new gaskets, but should I do any other work on it? It is just sitting in my driveway begging for me to build it up so it doesn't matter if it takes forever I just want to do it right whether I go turbo or all motor. Thanx again.
